"Being a person growing up in a home with domestic violence, it brought back a lot of memories, and it - it brought me to tears," said Vernon Young, who is the Community Director at University Point, and helped organize SODA's forum at JSU Monday.

Turner's presentation at JSU was meant to raise awareness and start a discussion.

"Honestly it put me in a situation where I got kind of emotional because I've got a mom and a little sister," said Conelous Stiff III, a JSU student who is friends with Turner's daughter. "So seeing my mom might be in that position, it really hurt."

Federal budget cuts could slash the Justice Department's grant program for their Office on Violence Against Women.

"I really feel that is so unfair," said Turner. "It's one in three women who will become victims of domestic abuse. I am one of the women that were able to make it out. There needs to be more government programs, more housing, more government assistance."

A woman named Shauna Gully was also at the forum.

She was paralyzed from the waist down when her husband shot her and she feels programs for domestic abuse victims are immeasurably important.

"We have children that are about to be motherless," said Gully. "And we're talking about budget for something that could possibly save a whole generation."

There is a hotline you can call that will let you know about domestic violence assistance programs in your area: 1-800-799-SAFE.
